The Way You Look At 1t!

A gentleman remarked one day last
week: "If you ran as good temper
ance paper all the time, as you do
part of the time, | would never want
to miss copy, but you let up on it
sometimes, just before the election. !"
There is a grave mistake here. The
temperance question is one that reach
es out beyond parties Or associations
Of men. It is Gods cause, enduring,
eternal. That paper occasionally
contains something besides temper
ance articles, is no indication that the
spirit is tagging in the good work.
But there are other matters engross-
ing the attention Of the newspaper
occasionally, as we'll as the individual.
To say that the whisky business is the
meanest thing on the face of the earth,
does not require the declaration that
the Democratic party is not the next
meanest. We do not, as has been some
times charged, advocate the election
Of drunkard or doggery-keeper to
office, simply because he is Republl-
can. There is no need Of putting
such an influence forward. We be-
lieve in being consistent temperance
man at all times, and under all cir
cumstances. It is not necessary that
we go over to the Democrats in order
to be considered a temperance man,
any more than it is necessary for a
Democrat to come over to us. We
push the battle from one year to an
other; there is no letting up; we re-
gard the liquor crime as great an evil
one day as it is another. The ques-
ton is too great to be measured by
party fealty, or gauged by the chances
Of party success. To be practical,
an earnest, temperance man, does not
require meaningless rush Of sound.
It requires a thoughtful, prayerful
work, one reaching through life
time. Parties may come and go,
whole systems Of Government may
change, but the great work Of teach
ing and practicing temperance should
never be permitted to lag.

Jackson on the west is building
well down toward Diamond, and it
will be but a short time until there
will be solid string Of houses from
Jackson to Diamond. There is sur
prisingly large amount Of substantial
building going on. No town is hav-
ing more solid growth than Jackson.
because the improvements are all
paid for as they are made. True, the
town ought to be growing faster, and
shortly will be, but until we can Sc
cure the influx of new industry and
new capital, we will be proud of the
old town and its steady growth.

Buffalo Bill has been astonishing
the English people by the narration
of his wonderful adventures and hair
breadth escapes upon the plains in
"Wild West" Among the daring ex-
ploits related by Bill, and repeated by
the London press, was the dreadful
'hand-to-hand' conflict between Bill
and the Chief, yellow Hand" The
knife was even shown, with which
Bill slew this daring savage. Now
the facts were about like this: A par
ty of Soldiers, accompanied by Bill
were out scouting. shortly after Gus
ter was killed, and one day espied a
small squad Of half dozen or more
fugitive redskins, who Immediately
lit out. The soldiers gave chase, and
Cody was riding a fast horse, there
fore succeeded in heading off the In
dams to the extent that he shot Yel-
low Hand, who fell from his horse.
That was the conflict" What did
the hero do next? Deliberately take
out his knife and scalp the dead Indian.
Even the savages who killed Custer did
not do any such brutal thing as this.
The desperate conflict with Yellow
Hand was fully as dangerous as chas-
ing a rabbit. But the English people
must ionize somebody, and they might
as we'll worship Bill.

The new coal lands Of George W.
Brown and others, east Of town, are
so located that the coal can easily be
handled by the Ohio Southern, with
but little trouble and expense in switch
ing. There is coal enough on that
side Of town to run all the manufac-
tories that could be crowded into Jack
son, for at least generation, and that
without going beyond a few miles.
The present trend Of mining is in
that direction, and it will not be long
until that rich field will be opened.

Gen. Sherman has been trying to
convince the soldiers that Cleveland
is not such bad kind Of a fellow,
after a all. "Cump" will hardly make
it. The boys have taken Growers size,
and it will not be much more than a
year until he takes a walk. He is
fond of fishing, and the boys propose
to see to it that he has abundant time
after his first term, to enjoy his favor
ite sport.

By the way, while we are talking
about booms, may we ask why we
never hear anything more about those
towns that a few months ago, under
the natural gas excitement, were
springing into cities Of twenty, thirty,
and even one hundred thousand in
habitants? A boom works a good
deal like a "bull" in the market.
What careful man wants to do with
a boom is to just let it alone for lit
tie while, when he can buy it short, if
he so desires.

Jackson now has three blast fur
naces in operation, and another which
could be put in operation at a small
outlay. The Huron Furnace ought
to be running, by all means. There
have been parties looking at it, and
there is possibility of it starting ere
long. This could be run more profit
ably than many furnace now in
operation.

1t is not the proper thing to en-
courage any measure Of underhand
work, but if the soldier boys up at
Columbus should succeed in spiriting
away the few battle flags in the Capt.
tol, we could scarcely find it in our
heart to censure them.

There will shortly be commenced
the construction Of a general system
of turnpikes, reaching out all over the
county. These will. be built of the
best gravel, so constructed that the
people along the route can take the
gravel in out Of the wet at night, and
during storms.

A gentleman was in town on last
Wednesday who had not been in Jack
son for many years. He expressed the
greatest astonishment at the manner
in which the town has built up and
improved. It was remarkable, even
to man who had been stopping in
larger places.

A necessary improvement that will
be built at once is an immense dog
pound, where stray animals will be
disposed of. There will be no cruelty
practiced. The dogs will be killed by
tickling them in the ribs until they
laugh themselves to death.

Parties boring gas wells in this part
Of the country might make expenses
by going into the patent medicine
business. In the well bored just be-
low the Court House last winter, there
was kind Of water struck that for
smell and taste could lick Blue Lick
water all to pieces.

Among the great attractions that
belong to this department. of our boom
issue, and as offering extra induce
ments to migratory capital, we may
mention the following, that are to be
found here:
Four vacant furnace sites-unused
for, many years, almost as good as
new.
Two abandoned mines-well filled
with water and kept moist and nice.
Twenty-seven salt wells-in excel
lent state Of preservation, having been
covered with earth for sixty years.
One railroad bed reaching from
Jackson to Hillsboro-fnished forty
years ago, but the iron not yet laid.
Thirty street cars, with good mules
attached-now used at furnaces for
hauling cinder and slack.
One right to manufacture Mother
Sylvester's beer and gingerbread.
One fair ground-well laid out, on
paper.
One Salvation Army-in good re-
pair.
One half-mile race track-well pre-
served, and carefully covered with
weeds.
Half a dozen slaughter-houses-
good and strong.
Several bone-dust houses most
intense value.
Two flowing gas-wells-of two-can-
die power.
Several camel coal mines-not vet
discovered.
One foundry started on the 'boom'
plan. Dead.
One derrick and "walking-beam"--
used to pump experience out Of the
ground.
One good mule-corral, last used by
the Government in 1863-but the bot
tom not yet kicked out.
Three abandoned brickyards-which
could be run by hauling in more clay.
One boom in real estate - well
stuffed, and thoroughly dried.
These are but small portion of our
great advantages, but they will suffice
to give a general idea Of the great in
ducements offered to capitalists who
are seeking places to invest. Any
of these may be examined before max
ing investments, if the capitalist is a
good digger and diver.
